Ahead of the Presidential and general
elections slated for March 28 and April 11, Former Federal Commissioner for
Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark claimed
yesterday that
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its Presidential candidate, President
Goodluck Jonathan have already won the election.Speaking yesterday at his Asokoro residence, Abuja when he received Youth Enlightenment Solution YES led by Ambassador Paulina Maimekere, Members of the National Association of You Win Awardee led by its President, Nwaigwe Tonia; Ex- Councillors Association of Nigeria, among others separately, Chief Clark who drew an analogy of light and dark, which he symbolises President Jonathan and the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, retd, warned that Nigeria cannot afford to move from light to darkness.
The
Elder Statesman who reiterated that the APC was a party of corrupt leaders that
have nothing good to offer the nation, described President Jonathan as God sent
to Nigeria, even as he stressed that if re-elected, the country will continue
to enjoy peace, stability, unity and development.
Chief
Clark who stressed that no body can stop President Jonathan from winning the
election, as nobody an intimidate the PDP and Jonathan, vowed that the ruling
party will not succumb to blackmail, adding that no amount of abuses will mean
anything to the President.
According
to him, ” we have already won the election, nobody can stop us, nobody can
intimidate us, we shall never succumb to blackmail. If you re -elect Jonathan
as President for second term, there will continue to be peace, stability and
there will be no intimidation. Jonathan is a man sent by God, humble. No amount
of abuses will mean anything to him.
“He
will not take those abusing him serious. Jonathan is the most abused President
by people of bad character. People saying that Jonathan cannot fight corruption
are the most corrupt. Buhari cannot fight corruption. He said bank borrowed him
to buy form, what he is spending today, is he borrowed by bank also?
“Those
funding his campaign are corrupt and they have cases to answer in court. Let
them answer that they are not corrupt, they cannot. Whoever want to abuse
should look at himself first.
“They
are not qualify to rule Nigeria. They lie about, raise uneccessary alarm.
Buhari became head of state through a coup. He stole 2.8m dollars when he was
Petroleum Minister. Buhari was to be probed for the loss of that money. But
before the probe will start Buhari staged a coup. Locked up Shagari, Ekwueme in
kirikiri. Every of their leader is a corrupt person. A corrupt leader cannot
probe corrupt members”.
He
reiterated that Buhari was surrounding himself with corrupt people who are
having cases to answer.
Earlier
the leader of Youth Enlightenment Solution YES, Ambassador Paulina Maimekere
who explained that they visited Clark to show their solidarity to President
Goodluck Jonathan, stressed that the group has about six million members and
that members of the group would begin an aggressive campaign in all the six
geo-political zones for the re-election of Jonathan.
She
said, “Having sat down and thought of the achievements of President Jonathan,
the over six million members of this group have resolved to support the
re-election bid of Jonathan.
“We
are going to engage in the last minute campaign to change whatever deceptive
impression the opposition may have created in the minds of Nigerians.”
Also
speaking, the National Association of You Win Awardee led by its President,
Nwaigwe Tonia disclosed that for three years, 3,900 Nigerians have so far
benefited from the You Win programme by President Jonathan where one million
grant and not loan was given, just as she said that the programme has been able
to produce wonderful entrepreneurs who would replace the likes of Aliko
Dangote, others tomorrow.
According
to her, their emergence was as a result of transparency, devoid of godfathers,
godmothers, among others.
